Joseph Heller
“After all, what is a liver? My father, for example, died of cancer of the liver and was never sick a day in his life up till the moment it killed him. Never felt a twinge of pain. In a way, that was too bad, since I hated my father. Lust for my mother, you know.”
Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Charlotte Brontë
“Tell me now, fairy as you are - can't you give me a charm, or a philter, or something of that sort, to make me a handsome man?"
"It would be past the power of magic, sir;" and, in thought, I added, "A loving eye is all the charm needed: to such you are handsome enough; or rather, your sternness has a power beyond beauty."
Mr. Rochester had sometimes read my unspoken thoughts with an acumen to me incomprehensible: in the present instance he took no notice of my abrupt vocal response; but he smiled at me with a certain smile he had of his own, and which he used but on rare occasions. He seemed to think too good for common purpose: it was the real sunshine of feeling - he shed it over me now.”
Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Virginia Woolf
“I am made and remade continually. Different people draw different words from me.”
Virginia Woolf, The Waves

Gabrielle Roy
“Alexandre avait commencé à causer avec son voisin, un fonctionnaire, depuis très longtemps employé à l'hôtel de ville de Montréal; de l'avis de son médecin, il lui aurait fallu trois mois de vacances. Mais comment faire? Une seule de ces filles était mariée. Il disait que la vie des homme semblait être de sortir de leur campagne afin de faire assez d'argent dans la ville pour venir refaire leur santé à la campagne.”
Gabrielle Roy, Alexandre Chenevert

Donna Tartt
“Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it.”
Donna Tartt, The Secret History
